I have a firepod and cakewalk sonar 4 producer edition. The program recognizes it but doesnt give me the option using it. I go to the audio options and it shows that has a driver profile(Presonus Firepod WDM Audio) but not a playback timing master and when i try wave profiling nothing happens. can u please help or try to figure out wats wrong.
 
What drivers does the firepod support?

I recently added an EMU 1212 card to my system (SONAR 4 producer) - tried to work under the WDM drivers. It was barely functional.

Finally decided to try the ASIO drivers option - all of a sudden I have 3 pages of options for the EMU. Everything came alive and works great
 
I have close to the same setup

and you should use the ASIO driver to drive the Firepod/Sonar interface. Make sure your hz/bit rates are set the same in the Firepod control panel and Sonar. Shut down and then restart your computer and then Sonar.

Then, each audio track should give you the option of assigning on of the Firepod's inputs and/or outputs. Just remember that even though you have 8 preamps on the Firepod, there are only 4 stereo busses...that's why you'll see Firepod 1L, 3L, 5L, 7L as available output busses. You'll need to use your pan control to get a good pass-through (if you're using the 1/4 inch outputs into a mixer for live sound while you record. Example - audio track 6 should have input as "Firepod - input 5R (notice the "right") - output 5R - then pan the track completely to the right.

Hope this makes sense.

Definitely ASIO. I had a Firepod and it worked flawlessly within Sonar using the ASIO drivers - decent latency too.
 
It doesnt show an asio driver on the firepod installation?????
 
I don't remember the details of the installation (don't have the Firepod anymore), but aren't the ASIO drivers installed somewhere in the process?

Try a re-installation is all else fails. I know Sonar can recognize Firepod ASIO drivers because that is what I used in Sonar. If the driver installation was a success, they should be there. In Sonar, are you looking in Audio Options under the Advanced tab? You'll see where you can switch the Playback and Recording Driver Mode. Choices are generally: WDM/KS, ASIO, and MME.
